The Belgian will become a free agent this summer with his Foxes contract coming to an end. However, Tielemans is said to be demanding a high wage.
Mikel Arteta isn’t the only one interested in securing the midfielder’s services this summer.
Liverpool had reportedly been interested, but have now backed out of the race due to the 25-year-old’s wage demands.
Newcastle United and Barcelona are also said to have a vested interest in the Foxes’ midfield maestro.
Tielemans has been a mainstay in the Leicester City midfield since joining from Monaco back in 2019, but his time at the King Power looks almost certain to come to an end.
He has enjoyed a successful spell in the Midlands. His most notable moment is likely scoring the winner at Wembley to earn Leicester their maiden FA Cup trophy back in 2021.

Despite the Foxes having a torrid time this season, Tielemans has still been able to show flashes of his brilliance.
Currently out with an ankle injury, the Belgium international has made 29 appearances this term, scoring on four occasions and providing one assist.
With just nine games to go in the Premier League, Leicester are 19th in the table – two points from safety. The Foxes now face an uncertain future with relegation looming.
They have just parted ways with first-team coach Brendan Rodgers too.
Keeping Tielemans was already hard enough as it is, but with relegation to the Championship, keeping the Belgian would almost be considered an impossibility.
